4 years ago It seems that GRUB 2 don't support RTL languages.
I will try to fix it.
According to GRUB Manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html)
16.2.4 terminfo Command: terminfo [-a|-u|-v] [term] Define the capabilities of your terminal by giving the name of an entry in the terminfo database, which should correspond roughly to a ‘TERM’ environment variable in Unix. The currently available terminal types are ‘vt100’, ‘vt100-color’, ‘ieee1275’, and ‘dumb’. If you need other terminal types, please contact us to discuss the best way to include support for these in GRUB. The -a (--ascii), -u (--utf8), and -v (--visual-utf8) options control how non-ASCII text is displayed. -a specifies an ASCII-only terminal; -u specifies logically-ordered UTF-8; and -v specifies "visually-ordered UTF-8" (in other words, arranged such that a terminal emulator without bidirectional text support will display right-to-left text in the proper order; this is not really proper UTF-8, but a workaround). If no option or terminal type is specified, the current terminal type is printed.

The options on the main screen should be aligned to the right, as you can see the F1/F2/etc. appear to the left while these should be on the right and the line is aligned to the left instead of the right.
Well the text appears correctly but the lines should be aligned from right to left meaning that the line should start with the icon to the right and then the text.
Furthermore the text is considered LTR (this is why the F1 is on the left), just to give a quick example with the translation of GRUB is wonderful in Hebrew:
Wrong: GRUB זה נפלא!
Correct (Aligned to the right and the string beginning with GRUB):
GRUB זה נפלא!
